The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 22: ‘Infantino Street’
Welcome back, Flash! After a pretty uneven season delving into the darkest realms of brooding, it’s refreshing to see The Flash get back on track, albeit right before the season finale. At it’s best, The Flash deftly mixes humor, action and drama into a...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 21: ‘Cause And Effect’
I may sound like a broken record, but the reason why The Flash works as a character is that he’s a hopeful figure. In a universe of dark, sullen, and brooding superheroes he’s always been a particularly bright oasis from, what has been affectionately dubbed...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 20: ‘I Know Who You Are’
Let’s just say it, The Flash took way too long to reveal Savitar’s true identity. In delaying the God of Speed’s identity, the creative staff sapped some much needed momentum from the story. So of course it makes sense that tonight’s episode...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 19: ‘The Once And Future Flash’
Have we turned a corner? Could it be that tonight’s episode of the Flash was a signal that things were finally going to improve? In a nutshell? Maybe. “The Once and Future Flash” dived right back into Savitar’s illusive identity. With no...

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Recap And Review – Episode 17: ‘Aruba’
If there was ever a story about second chances, it’s DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. After a shockingly uneven first season, the pressure to deliver the goods on an ensemble superhero team for the DCW was pretty high. Fortunately the Legends production crew rose to the...

I’ve maintained since the early days of Season Two that The Flash needed to beef up their interests in The Rogues. The Rogues Gallery is literally The Flash’s most important asset and has been sadly neglected in favor for Omni-speedsters that can slow the story to a crawl despite the writers best intentions. So it’s been a...

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 17: ‘Duet’
Musical episodes are very hit or miss. Ever since Joss Whedon created Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s “Once More With Feeling,” genre writers have been tried shoehorning musical episodes into their creations. So when it was revealed that Supergirl was moving to the CW...

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Recap And Review – Episode 14: ‘Moonshot’

The Flash Season 3 Recap And Review – Episode 15: ‘The Wrath of Savitar’
This week’s episode of The Flash, was a bit of a mixed bag for me. While it finally started moving the Savitar plot forward, it also incorporated a lot of “CW” elements that felt less than organic. Even so, “The Wrath of Savitar” was...

I can imagine that producing The Flash is a masterclass of juggling expectations. At the end of last week’s episode, Gorilla Grodd was poised to invade Earth-1 with an army of sentient gorillas who had a hankering for battle. The expectation was obvious, an hour long invasion story of Gorillas decimating Central City. Obviously that’s...
